I am teaching my neice, almost 4, how to write letters and numbers. I babysit her everyday and her mom has asked that I take about 30 min or so and work with her on her alphabet and numbers. We are doing really good I have taught her how to write her name. We are on the letter E right now. We try to do a letter everyday or every few days. The problem I have noticed is that when I am teaching her a letter or number she writes it upside down or on its side. I was thinking it was her postier so I had her side up in the chair on her bottom but it is still happening. Is this a common mistake while teaching little ones how to write or is this an issue. Even sometimes letters and numbers she knows well she will sometimes write backwards. So I calmly try to show her why it cannot be like that and explain to her it is incorrect. Usually I can work with her on it and after a few min she will get it. I just want to keep an eye on her i didn't know if this was typical or not. Thanks!
EDIT: I didn't mean to put that she writes it upside down...she writes it backwards. Okay sorry about that..
